so_o hate_v of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v already_o destine_v to_o the_o flame_n of_o hell_n and_o in_o regard_n there_o be_v but_o little_a difference_n between_o a_o damn_a person_n and_o the_o

of_o your_o party_n who_o either_o out_o of_o duty_n or_o inclination_n be_v better_o and_o more_o tender_o affect_v towards_o we_o be_v wont_a to_o look_v upon_o we_o with_o horror_n and_o a_o kind_n

this_o judgement_n so_o frequent_o give_v and_o inculcate_v against_o we_o to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v rash_a and_o prohibit_v by_o the_o sentence_n of_o christ_n not_o

it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v condemn_v by_o a_o physician_n than_o a_o judge_n by_o man_n then_o by_o god._n wherefore_o as_o no_o man_n can_v be_v a_o judge_n in_o his_o own_o cause_n it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o accuser_n to_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o the_o guilty_a so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o plead_v in_o opposition_n to_o this_o unjust_a judgement_n that_o mr._n prior_n will_v

and_o convenient_a this_o judgement_n certain_o be_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o equity_n and_o pure_a reason_n but_o to_o anger_n and_o hatred_n as_o parent_n be_v wont_a to_o love_v their_o
